DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1 and 2 are a perspective view and an exploded perspective view showing an example of a rotating toy according to the present invention, which is a combination of a parent rotating body 1 and a child rotating body 2, The slider 5 in which the rack gear 4 is continuously formed is inserted through the opening 3 formed on the side surface of the rotating body 1, and the flywheel 10 disposed inside is rotated by pulling out the slider 5 to rotate the parent wheel. When the body 1 is rotated and the rotation of the parent rotator 1 becomes high speed, the child rotator 2 held by the holding portion 11 provided on the upper surface of the parent rotator 1 is released upward, and the parent rotator 1 It is designed to detach and rotate independently.
[0007]
The parent rotor 1 imitates a solo as a whole with a hollow disk-shaped housing 13 composed of a lower member 13a and an upper member 13b and a cover member 14 superposed on the housing 13. The flywheel 10 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 13. A pinion gear 15 is coaxially formed integrally on the lower surface of the flywheel 10, and a bearing 17 that fits into a fitting recess 16 formed in the lower member 13 a and a fitting recess 18 that bulges out in the upper member 13 b. It is rotatably supported on the housing 13 by a bearing 19 fitted to the housing 13.
[0008]
A lower part of the shaft body 20 of the flywheel 10 passes through the lower member 13a, and a resin sliding member 21 having a hemispherical tip is attached to the lower end of the shaft body 20 protruding downward. Rotation can be maintained with little friction with the ground contact surface.
[0009]
An opening 3 through which the slider 5 is inserted is formed in the lower member 13a, and the rack gear 4 of the slider 5 inserted through the opening 3 is engaged with the pinion gear 15 of the flywheel 10, and the slider 5 is pulled strongly. The flywheel 10 can be rotated at high speed in the clockwise direction.
[0010]
A locking member 27 is disposed on the upper surface of the upper member 13b. The locking member 27 has a long hole 28 engaged with a support shaft 25 formed on the upper surface of the upper member 13b. The locking member 27 is axially supported so as to be movable in the radial direction of the upper member 13b. The spring 32 is always urged inward by a spring 32 spanned between a hook 30 formed on the member 13b and a hook 31 formed on the locking member 27, and when the casing 13 rotates, the spring 32 is caused by centrifugal force. It moves to the outside against.
[0011]
The locking member 27 has a leg piece 27b formed forward from both ends of the connecting portion 27a and is formed in a substantially U shape in plan view. The locking portion 27c has a front-facing inclined surface on the front surface of the connecting portion 27a. Is formed, and is engaged with a concave groove 41 of the engaging body 42 described later to lock the engaging body 42.
[0012]
In addition, since the distribution of weight is biased when the parent rotor 1 is only the locking member 27, the reference numeral 33 is disposed at the target position with the locking member 27 to maintain the balance of the weight of the parent rotor 1. The balance member 33 is shown, and the balance member 33 is fixed on the upper member 13b with the support shaft 26 fitted in the fitting hole 34.
[0013]
Further, the locking member 27 and the balance member 33 are covered with a cover member 14 fixed to the support shafts 25 and 26 with screws 29. At the center of the cover member 14 is formed a holding portion 11 that bulges upward in a cylindrical shape and holds the child rotor 2. The holding portion 11 is formed with an insertion hole 40 for inserting the shaft body 2a of the child rotor 2 in the upper portion, and a cylindrical shape having a concave groove 41 formed in the center circumferential surface and opened at the lower side. An engaging body 42 and a spring 43 that biases the engaging body 42 upward are accommodated. An engagement hole 44 that engages with the tip of the shaft body 2a of the child rotor 2 is formed on the upper surface of the engagement body 42.
[0014]
Next, an operation mode of the rotating toy having the above configuration will be described.
[0015]
First, as shown in FIG. 3A, the child rotor 2 is held by the holding unit 11. At this time, the shaft body 2 a of the child rotor 2 is sufficiently inserted from the insertion hole 40 of the holding part 11, but the tip of the shaft body 2 a of the child rotor 2 is engaged with the engaging body 42 arranged inside the holder 11. The engaging body 42 is pressed against the spring 43 while being engaged with the hole 44. When the engaging body 42 is pushed down, the lower peripheral edge of the engaging body 42 comes into contact with the inclined surface of the locking portion 27c of the locking member 27, and further moves downward while pushing the locking member 27 outward against the spring 32. When the locking portion 27a is in a position corresponding to the concave groove 41 of the engaging body 42, the locking member 27 is urged by the spring 32 and moves inward, and is in a state of being engaged with the concave groove 41. Then, the engaging portion 42 is locked to prevent the rise, and even if the pressing of the child rotating body 2 is released, the child rotating body 2 is held by the holding portion 11 (FIG. 4A). reference).
[0016]
Next, after the slider 5 is sufficiently inserted through the opening 3 formed on the side surface of the parent rotor 1, the slider 5 may be pulled out with great force. Since the rack gear 4 of the slider 5 is meshed with the pinion gear 15 of the flywheel 10, the flywheel 10 is rotated vigorously. In this state, when the main rotating body 1 is grounded, the flywheel 10 is rotated, so that the flywheel 10 is set up standing on the grounding surface, and the rotation of the flywheel 10 is eventually transmitted to the housing 3 via the bearings 17 and 19. The entire parent rotating body 1 starts rotating (see FIG. 3B).
[0017]
When the rotation of the main rotating body 1 starts, the locking member 27 tries to move outward by centrifugal force but is biased inward by the spring 32, so that the entire rotation of the main rotating body 1 becomes high speed. Since the locking member 27 cannot move until the locking member 42 is locked, the child rotating body 2 continues to rotate integrally with the parent rotating body 1 while being held by the holding portion 11. Become.
[0018]
When the rotation of the parent rotor 1 becomes high speed, the locking member 27 gradually starts to move outward against the spring 32, and eventually the locking of the engaging body 42 by the locking portion 27a is released (see FIG. 4 (b)).
[0019]
When the locking of the engaging body 42 is released, the engaging body 42 is flipped up at a stroke by the elastic force of the spring 43, and the child rotating body 2 is also flipped up integrally with the engaging body 42 and rotating from the holding portion 11. It is launched (see FIG. 3C), and lands and rotates independently of the parent rotating body 1 (see FIG. 4D).
[0020]
As described above, when the child rotator 2 is set on the parent rotator 1 and the flywheel 10 disposed inside the parent rotator 1 is rotated at high speed, the parent rotator 1 itself eventually rotates at high speed. When the main rotating body 1 rotates at a high speed, the locking member 27 that locks the engaging body 42 that flips out the child rotating body 2 from the holding portion 11 gradually moves in the circumferential direction by centrifugal force, Since the engagement body 42 is unlocked, the engagement body 42 is bounced upward by the spring force of the spring 43, and the child rotor 2 is ejected from the holding portion 11. Therefore, after a while after the parent rotor 1 starts rotating, Since the child rotator 2 jumps up and leaves the parent rotator 1, the viewer can be surprised and interested.
[0021]
In addition, even when playing against other top toys, the child rotating body 2 can also affect the rotation of the opponent's top toys, and the range of top toy play can be expanded.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, when the flywheel is rotated and the rotation speed of the parent rotator gradually increases in conjunction with the rotation of the flyhole and the rotation of the parent rotator becomes high speed, the flywheel is held on the parent rotator. Unlike the so-called solo toys that simply rotate, the child rotating body separates and rotates independently from the parent rotating body, and an unexpected situation occurs, making the rotating toy play more interesting. it can.
